Answer:
x = 9 , y = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
given the system of equations
y = 2x - 6 → (1)
y = x + 3 → (2)
substitute y = 2x - 6 into (2)
2x - 6 = x + 3 ( subtract x from both sides )
x - 6 = 3 ( add 6 to both sides )
x = 9
substitute x = 9 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y
substituting into (2)
y = x + 3 = 9 + 3 = 12
The solution is x = 9, y = 12
Answer: (9,12) [tex]x=9, y=12[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
This one's tricky. We are given both equations in terms of y. Instead of substituting and getting the x-value, we are going to have to use an equality statement to solve for x.
Solving:
Given: [tex]y=2x-6, y=x+3[/tex]
Substitute first equation into second:
[tex](2x-6)=x+3[/tex] (As you see, both equations are equal)
Now solve for x:
[tex]2x=x+9[/tex]
[tex]-x[/tex] [tex]-x[/tex]
[tex]x=9[/tex]
Now plug in x into the first or second equation and get the y-value :
[tex]y=2x-6[/tex]
[tex]y=2(9)-6[/tex]
[tex]y=12[/tex]
That's it!
